Be Professional, Be Polite, But...
Make your own EAS kit, you need 6mm pneumatic air tubing and 6mm push-fit schraeder valves. Unfortunately, you can't find 6mm push-fit schraeder valves in the US. 1/4" push-fit schraeders are too big on 6mm tubing. Anyhow, always have a plan is THE #1 plan. I have always have an EAS kit, extra... -
Engine runs rough on cold startup after new spark plugs installed
Before you believe the mechanic that doesn't have the proper tools to test, I would suggest doing a couple of things to check if it's really your head gasket before dropping $15k on a used motor. Easiest way is to combustion test it, . Compression test to somewhat narrow it down. -
LR4 air suspension stays up!
Sounds like you should recalibrate the suspension on leveled flooring with the Gap IID Tool, if you have one. -
Better tyres on which axle (heavy, asphalt mostly)?
Technically in any 4x4 you want even wear and similar diameter tires. Otherwise, you can put strain on the transfer case and ultimately in the transmission with different tire rotations. Luckily, the Rover is smart enough to compensate minor differences. Here's my 2 cents, if you have the HD... -
Vacuum Question
Yeah, what @roversaid. What you circled is also a great way to remove the majority of air pockets in the block. Just remove the black clip and pop off the black coolant return hose from the gray pipe. That'll help with the overheating issue due to air pockets in the cooling system. -
LR4 air suspension stays up!
Do you have lift rods? It might think that it's "too low" and out of range of your height sensors, which would try to lift it back up. Best bet is to recalibrate your suspension with oem rods, whether you have lift rods or not. -
Quick Brake Change Tool Question
I have this thin wrench set and it's served me well in different applications. It's also one of the better chrome reinforced wrenches that I keep in the truck all the time. https://a.co/d/fGvF3lG -
Remind Me Again Why We Love These Things?
Good point. I seriously tracked my charging system for a whole month. Gap live values for battery quiescent current, state of charge, battery current (A), and battery voltage. It always ranged between 40% - 80% battery life and alternator load. No direct relationship either. The battery voltage... -
Remind Me Again Why We Love These Things?
I'm putting that on my bucket list. Maybe in a year or 2 I'll do it, or maybe sooner if it starts getting weird on me. I think my current alternator is about 4 yo, trying to maximize roi on it. -

Remind Me Again Why We Love These Things?
I'm on the same damn boat. I'm never selling it either, especially with all the love ($$$$$) I poured into it. I've put so much time into it that I know it's going to last with the proper maintenance that I do on my own. If I'm able to remove the heads to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets... -

Safari Gard Hippo Hitch
I had a convo with the guy when he first made the SG hitch. It was an alternative for the Rhino OX hitch when it was off the market for hitch failures. The SG hitch is also a class 4 hitch like the OX hitch. I love my Rhino OX hitch, and this is a viable option. -

If you have the gap iid tool, do a battery reset. Also, check the codes. -
Order of off-road mods
Agreed that my priorities were to protect the underside, but I wanted to keep weight at a minimal. I went with ASFIR (aluminum) sump and gear skid, Terrafirma sliders, and Dark Crow Designs (steel) gas skid. Served me very well with lots of battle scars. Once you get top heavy like I did... -

What's everyone's favourite replacement lower control arms?
I don't think it's supposed to move that much or much at all. -
Water pump replacement - mystery plug
Funny, the gray y-pipe that bends down to the right is a dead y split. The hose is supposed to go to a black plastic n i p p l e that goes to the water pump. You can't just buy that piece, but someone recently made the brass replacement version. In hind sight, whomever did that made a genius... -
LR4 Front coolant outlet tube BS
Looks like you dodged a big bullet there. I found that you can get the majority of the air pockets out by removing the bleed screw next to the battery, removing the overflow connector near the throttle body, and the coolant reservoir cap. The coolant will automatically level itself to a certain... -
What's everyone's favourite replacement lower control arms?
If you guys are replacing front lower LCAs that often, I'd highly recommend getting them from FCP Euro. I replaced mine with Lucky8 polys 2 years ago and they're ok. Squeaks a bit here and there, but not too bad. I'm thinking I just need to poly grease lube them again to prevent squeaking and... -
Brake pad fun
I agree... I rotate my tires a lot and it takes 2 seconds to look at the pad thickness. But then again, I also shorted my pad warning sensors. Both were worn out from being old and I didn't feel like replacing them. They're probably one of the less inexpensive things on the maintenance list, but... -

Dealership Multi-Point Inspection INSANE Recommendations!
I recently had an exhaust leak, so, I pulled my heads off to do both exhaust manifold gaskets. I still ended up spending under $2k and diy the entire project. I spent 4-5 days over 14 hours a day pulling it apart, cleaning, rethreading most holes, and putting it back together. Taking it apart... -
Zip tie timing quide and tensioner replacement
Check your bank 1 and bank 2 intake and exhaust cam gear position by degrees. If it's really off you'll see it. It's also vvti and "should" compensate a bit, but if it's way off you might hurt it in the long run.
